High Risk

If you just want to have fun watching a movie, go out and buy High Risk. A hilarious, superfast paced movie that doles out a what I like to call a Half a loaf of Jet Li, AND a Half a loaf of Jacky Cheung. In this movie Jackie get to imitate a little Jackie and Bruce. This was funny as hell. Jet Li gets to be tough and serious while Jacky Cheung gets to be zany and goofy and hit on girls and do lots of fake kung fu; and then, just when you thought that was it BOOM! it hits you with a Half a loaf of Chingmy Yau. The girl is gorgeous. If you don't know who she is or just would love to take a glance at her check the Women in Jet Movies section.

The plot is an obvious ripoff of Die Hard ,but this thing blows Die Hard away. The girls go wacky over drunken action/stunt star Jackie Cheung but don't seem to notice his stunt double/bodyguard Jet Li, who lost his family to a mysterious bomber called the doctor, but all that will change when reporter Chingmy Yau catches the two. They all end up at a black tie exhibition of Tsar Nicholas II's crown jewels, when a cadre of jewel thieves take over the building, headed by the Doctor. The scenes are great and wild but I must let you in right now: Jet Li does not do very much fighting in this movie which is its only downfall. Don't go in expecting alot of fighting cause other wise you will be dissapointed. Just enjoy as a movie in whole. I rated this movie an 6 out of 10.
